I absolutely loved your class! I was looking for a challenge, trying to say “yes” rather than “no.” So I took your Video Game Voiceover Class with that in mind and, boy, did it deliver. It was one very big “Yes.” I’ve been in the studio world - jingle/vo/narrations - for 40+ years and this pushed me in ways that I’d never been pushed before. Such a delightful challenge!
We all got excellent, very clear, specific, and helpful direction from each of you. You both encouraged us to push the boundaries, to take risks. And when we did that, it almost always immediately resulted in a better, clearer, stronger next take. -Richard Schoen, VO Veteran
